TERMS, FIVE DOLLARS A YEAR, 
STRICTLY IN ADVANCE 
The FOREST AND STREAM is a paper which can 
be read in the family. 
It can be read by the ladies and children. 
We count many principals of schools as among our 
contributors. 
It will inculcate alove of manly sports with natur 
alistic study, and has for correspondents and contrib- 
utors some of the most distinguished naturalists in the 
Tnited States. Where to find game in any part of the 
United States makes it the medium of the sportsman, 
Eyery description of game or amusement which is 
in vogue among respectable people, and of value as a 
health-giving recreation, is practically encouraged. 
Nothing that demoralizes or brutalizes, nothing that is 
regarded as ‘‘sport”? by those whose instincts are but 
a grade higher than the creatures they train to amuse 
them, will find a place in its columns. 
Each number contains a paper descriptive of some 
particular fish, animal, or bird. The Forest AND 
STREAM can occupy a place in any gentleman or lady’s 
drawing room, and in the school room, and not be out 
of place. : 
Subscriptions will only commence from the date of 
the receipt of the money. If subscribers desire back 
numbers we will endeavor to send them, but do not 
engage to. 
There never was offered a better opportunity for 
Christinas or New Year Presents.
